Summary
A podcast episode featuring Joseph Ortiz from Kent State University discussing remote sensing of Mars, a National Geographic-funded project at Vaal Dam in South Africa, water quantity and quality issues in semi-arid environments, harmful algal blooms (microcystis), water level drops of one to two stories, and a region that came within five days of running out of water. The episode also covers measuring algae with multichannel fluorometers, open source software for hyperspectral imagery analysis, Whitebox tools for lidar analysis, MultiSpec, analyzing harmful algal blooms using Sentinel red edge bands, and student collaboration with Wits University.
